Saving a Custom View Configuration
properties of the window (such as view format and window position) are used rather
than the settings stored in the view definition file.
The Custom View window is updated with the new view name, and the data is
refreshed using the specifiers defined in the view definition file. In addition, the
view definition file becomes the active definition file for the view, and subsequent
save operations default to that location.
In addition, at startup the OEM Server automatically opens any Custom View windows
that were active the last time the OEM was shut down.
Saving a Custom View Configuration
When you save a Custom View configuration, you can save it to the active view
definition file or to a new view definition file. You will probably want to save to the
active view definition file unless you are creating a new Custom View. To do so, choose
Save from the File menu, or click Save on the toolbar.
To save the configuration to a new definition file, choose Save As from the File menu. A
dialog box appears so you can specify the location to which the configuration should be
saved. Once you have selected the path and entered a new file name, click Save to save
the configuration data. The current window is updated to show the new view name, and
the active view definition file becomes the newly created file.
By default the OEM creates new view definition files in the
OEM_program_directory\Views folder, but you can change this location using the Save
dialog box.
If the OEM’s Auto Save View Definitions option is enabled, all Custom View
configurations are automatically saved when a Custom View window is closed or the
OEM shuts down. In this case, you need not manually save each Custom View
configuration.
Sorting Custom View Window Items
You can sort the items in a Custom View object list using any of the Custom View fields.
To sort items:
1. Make sure you are using Details view format.
2. Click the column heading by which you want to sort:
•
Click once to sort objects in ascending order.
•
Click twice to sort objects in descending order.
The sort order is preserved if you subsequently switch to Large Icons, Small Icons, or
List view.
Sizing Custom View Window Columns
You can resize each of the columns in the window. To do so, make sure you are using
Details view format, select the divider between column headings, and drag it right or left
as desired. You can also resize all columns at once.
